Kelly's Theory and Self-characterisation

Today's lecture was interesting and I really liked the examples of self-characterisation we were given. I think this technique would enable some people to put into words on paper something that they might not want to articulate for fear of sounding silly or embarrassed. Some people feel overwhelmed and confused by the vast amount of information available to them and don't know where to begin when they are at the point of seeking advice. I think that when the client and therapist work on the second version of the script together this could really help clients visualise an alternative to the situation they are presently in. When it came to the repertory grid however, I was a bit lost to say the least - I'm just not good with stats/grids etc. I think it is a good way though of helping clients to reflect on and explore their own contructs. Any techniques that can enrich the way we offer guidance are worth considering.
